One Bullet, directed and produced by Carol Dysinger; produced by Su Kim. The documentary tells the story of how one bullet, fired into darkness, hits a boy on a residential street in Afghanistan sending him into the path of a woman filmmaker following the American military. This begins an intimate, longitudinal look at a family in crises through the eyes of its matriarch — Bibi Hajji — and an accidental friendship between two women, worlds apart. Dysinger probably explained it best when she said, “in a DIY universe, this is like water on dry ground. Making these docs that must be shot over long periods of time to render their meaning can be grueling... So having the braintrust at Tribeca Film Institute tracking you is a real boon.” She further explained that “even in the rejections prior to this, the attention and guidance and encouragement has been a much needed touchstone. All money comes at just the right time — but this comes with support of a wonderful creative team.”
